In an interview with Legit, Okoye expressed that if El-Rufai decides to leave the APC, it wouldn’t be a cause for concern. Instead, he suggested that it could further divide the opposition party and strengthen the ruling APC.

Painting a scenario where El-Rufai, along with other prominent politicians like Senator Rabiu Musa Kwakwanso, Peter Obi, and former president Atiku Abubakar, represents different parties in the 2027 presidential race, Okoye suggested that such a scenario would favor the APC and its leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

According to Okoye, if El-Rufai represents the SDP, Kwankwaso the NNPP, Obi the LP, and Atiku the PDP, it would lead to a “clean sweep” victory for the APC in the 2027 election.

In summary, Okoye’s perspective suggests that El-Rufai’s potential move to the SDP and his presidential ambitions could ultimately benefit the APC by weakening the opposition and enhancing the ruling party’s chances of electoral success in 2027.
